Great half day tour! - I was in Addis for work and only had one free morning to explore the city — I’m so glad I booked a tour with Addis Ethiopia Tours. My guide, Luel, was a pleasure to spend time with: punctual, deeply knowledgeable about Ethiopia’s rich history, and genuinely engaging. Visiting the Archaeological Museum with him made me wish I had more time to see the rest of the country. I would highly recommend Addis Ethiopia Tours to anyone looking to experience Addis Ababa with insight and warmth.

Great friendly tour around Addis Ababa - Had a great day with Desale who showed us around the city with enthusiam. We visited numerous sites including a really interesting trip to one of the city's history museums. Desale was happy to take us to any place we wanted to go to, and to spend as much or as little time as we wanted at each venue. It was a great experience and would love to come back one day
